I don't know if the vernacular exists to even describe how disgusting that is, both in concept and execution! On the plus side, it looks pretty much the same before you eat it as it does when it comes back up.

I call shenanigans! This is a PIE, not a cake, and therefore does not count as a wreck......or something. Just getting that out there early, maybe you wont get 8,000 camments like that. Or maybe you will. Meh

I really want to say "I can't believe someone ordered that.", but I have been reading this site for far too long and its no suprise. Gross.

I just hope its Mozart they are puttin through to that bebeh.

wv: khanymb - probably all a fetus can hear on an ipod.....they gots no ears!

Perhaps the customer just wanted to instigate one of those devilishly charming, friendship-killing dinner party debates by taking the pro-life argument to the next level... "So the idea of carving up a music-loving fetus bothers you, does it? Uh? UH?"

I guessed a stomach with an adjustable gastric band on it (see? the earbud is the filling port!) complete with upper and lower intestine. That the "real" answer is more disgusting is really something special.

I was going to guess a surgery gone wrong. Like that Seinfeld episode, when Jerry dropped a Junior Mint into the guy...only this time someone somehow dropped an iPod. Woopsi-daisy! Oh, if only I had been right...it's sooooo much less disturbing. Ick!!

Without knowing it was supposed to be a fetus, my first thought was "Well, that would be great for my cousin." She's a doctor and has had to remove stranger items than iphones from, um, the posterior region.

"Ahead of you lies adventure, and your strength still lies within! Freedom from the (butt) of doom is the treasure you will win!"

I think what I find the most amusing is the link to the cookie cutter where so many people commented "gross!" "sick!" "stupid!" "disgusting!" (ok, i guess it IS kind of stupid...but my delightfully warped sense of humor also loves it :))

As for gross and disgusting? oh no, my dears, that was just a sugar cookie. THIS is gross and disgusting! (ha. And also kind of funny in the 'what the hell kind of occasion calls for iPod fetus pie!??')

I work in retail and now I can go back to my sales manager and honestly say that the customer is NOT always right. In fact, this time, they're not even close. And are those cherries what I think they're supposed to be? As if intestines aren't enough, let's put a realistic looking placenta in there as well. With one 'creation, I may never have kids, cake or pie ever again. EWWWWW just isn't strong enough a word!!

Pies are Wreck-worthy too! Yeh, I know I bent the rule today, but if that came across YOUR desk, could you NOT share it with the world? Anyone got a wrecktastic rugelah? A putrid petit four? A barfy biscuit?

So - working at a hospital - I was going to guess stomach with one of those new weightloss machines on it. But THAT is just disgusting! I don't know if I'd even fault the baker for me not knowing it's a fetus... it's just a WRONG request all around.

I knew what it was immediately, because I had one removed from my body a few months ago. It's an adjustable gastric band, commonly known as a lap-band. It is a common weight loss surgery. You can even see the port, where the syringe pumps fluid gradually into the band, giving the person more restriction. This wreck, indeed, causes you to eat less! Cake or pie, by the way, is not recommended in the pre-op or post-op diet.

honestly, I thought it was a stomach and intestines, and I was hurting my brain trying to figure out why a stomach had a pacemaker...

so, it is a fetus in a worm-infested womb? or is that a really sad representation of a placenta? And seriously, I've seen my share of ultrasound pics, and THAT looks nothing like a fetus...it looks like, well, I won't say due to the number of folks that lost their breakfast this morning...

Um. With the diet-inducing theme, I thought it was a stomach surrounded by intestines (the wormy things) and thought the Ipod was the stapling device the put in to make your stomach smaller. Thought maybe the occasion was somebody learning to equate mega cake/pie consumption with the consequences...I'd love to know the real back story. Lily

If the baker herself was kind enough to supply the photo, why didn't she also give us the backstory/explanation for her creation?I would hate to think that she made it with just the instruction "a pie of a fetus with an iPod" and NO reason for it!

I thought it was a celebration of a stomach pump removal of your mp3 player... And I still think it looks more like a stomach than a fetus. It Would explain the squiggly lines around it (other organs/flesh?) I suppose.

Wh-what? *Why*? In the name of all that is holy, *why*? I-I have no words for this. *headshake* I can't decide whether this is one of the most hilarious or one of the most disturbing Wrecks I've ever seen. Maybe both.

What's a Wreck?

What's a Wreck?

A Cake Wreck is any cake that is unintentionally sad, silly, creepy, inappropriate - you name it. A Wreck is not necessarily a poorly-made cake; it's simply one I find funny, for any of a number of reasons. Anyone who has ever smeared frosting on a baked good has made a Wreck at one time or another, so I'm not here to vilify decorators: Cake Wrecks is just about finding the funny in unexpected, sugar-filled places.

Where's the book?

We don’t have any copies of Cake Wrecks for sale here, autographed or otherwise. We decided the shipping and handling costs would be too high to make it worth your while. So instead, buy your copies locally or online and then order personalized bookplates: it’s cheaper, easier, and I think even looks a bit nicer.
